Title: Sager account, ca. 1860.

This collection consists of a photocopy of the account that Catherine Sager Pringle wrote of her family crossing the Plains. It describes her parents dying on the journey; adoption of Dr. & Mrs. Whitman and the Whitman Massacre. The account by Catherine Sager Pringle was typed on stencils in March 1854 by Celista Collins Platz, Catherine's grandaughter. The copy of the manuscript was given to Washington State Library on 2 May 1975 by Celista C. Platz. Because it was never edited or modified in any way, today it is regarded as one of the most authentic accounts of the American westward migration.
